Simone, our tour guide was fantastic! We felt so privileged to show us around. We recommend skipping the line close to closing time for an unobstructed view.

Overall a great experience. I highly recommend doing and you see a lot of gorgeous sites. The tour guide was also excellent and very informative. However, she never took us on the Colosseum floor as which we were supposed to, per the description when I signed up for the tour

Of all the tours we did in Rome, this was the worst! The tour guide- an older lady was absolutely awful. We were meant to have 30 in the group and only 17 turned up by time of departure so we left. Though it is advertised as a skip the line experience, unlike our tour at the Vatican which was skip the line, this was not. Your group gets added to the queue for groups which was even longer than the individual ticket holders line. If I was to go to the Colosseum, I would not bother with the tour but instead buy an individual ticket. It wasn't until about 1.5 hours into the 3 hour tour that the tour guide bothered to take any sort of register, by that point, a couple of people had already left. She had been a tour guide for over 20 years and it was evident, as she seemed to no longer care about the quality of her tour, which was awful. There was information overload at times and no information at others. The tour was also a lot longer than it needed to be. Other people also commented that the tour was bad but she seemed to not be self aware of this. The best part was when it ended. A waste of an afternoon in Rome.

Let’s just say we got to the Colosseum an hour early and couldn’t find the meeting place that they told us. When we finally got to the meeting place, everybody from the tour company was rude and unaccommodating. We started the tour with 28 people and we left after an hour and a half. There were only two people left at that point. The tour guide was very nice and pleasant. However, we had other things we needed to do and we feel she wasted a lot of our time. We were able to get into the Colosseum and skip the lines. I recommend that you use this tour just to be able to get it to the calcium and do it on your own. This was the worst experience I’ve ever had trying to find a location in dealing with the root workers there.

More Roman Forum than Colosseum. It was very hot and the guide tried to keep us in the shade as much as possible. More time was spent in the Forum than anywhere else and we didn’t get to go to the top of Palatine Hill as we were running out of time. The 3 hours was hard going in the heat and we were itching to get to the colosseum. The guide used her expansive knowledge to give us the back story of the many artifacts.

Johanna_Louise

Such a knowledgeable and personable tour guide. Learnt so much for her in short period of time. Great experience. Not cheap and better to book in advance as I think you get a better deal but an important piece of history to gain amazing insight into.

Mike_g

Meeting up was easy and efficient. Our guide Julia (Guilia) was awesome. Very knowledgeable and did a great job leading the large group on a hot day. She really helped make this tour awesome. The tour itself was very interesting and covered the major pieces. Would book this again.

Booking my skip the line Colloseo and Palatine hill+Roman Forum tickets through trip advisor was very easy And straight forward, although getting your e-ticket or printed ticket is impossible, some work needs to be done there , but not to worry just print off your confirmation reference and the meeting place information, show this to your guide service and enjoy. An unforgettable experience, Thank You Kevin.

Richard R

It was extremely hard to listen to the tour guide. We could not hear anything she was saying. She stopped at locations and would take 10-15 minutes each time. When we finally made it to the forum it was quick 5 minutes. Not worth it!! Do the self tour

Simon_H

Fascinating tour with a knowledgeable and engaging guide who brought the sites to life. Think her name was Judy - she really was excellent. There’s so much to see that having someone to show you round helps to focus on the main features (and also conserve your energy as you are led in a logical route). The views from the top of the Paletine Hill were well worth the climb.
